FREEDOM HOUSE

The mission of Freedom House is 1) to provide compassionate, confidential, and comprehensive services at no cost to victims of domestic and sexual violence in Breau, Henry, Marshall, Putnam, and Stark counties; 2) to work collaboratively with collateral agencies to obtain legal remedies, medical attention, and all available services to support an enhanced quality of life; and 3) to provide professional training, public awareness, educational programs and the promotion of volunteerism in the service of combating domestic and sexual violence. Freedom House is a client- centered agency that strives to empower victims and give them control over their lives. The abiding principles of this approach are treating clients with dignity and respect, individualizing service plans to meet the unique needs of each person, and helping clients to avoid re-victimization.
